The print edition of the Village Voice is dead at 38 points.
If you don’t have at least a working copy of next years list you aren’t playing correctly.
I should be at 3 dead - 89 points.
Does having a lot of all-to-healthy leftovers from this year count? 
One good place to start, if you’re putting together a list from scratch, is the leftovers from the top scorers’ lists. Some of the still-living ones have recovered or gone into remission, or were bad guesses in the first place. But a good number of them are people who are on those lists for good reason, but will stagger into 2018 nonetheless. A celeb can be terminal but still take a few years to die, after all.
Laying low since February, Sara Coward, dead at 31 points and a Unique Pick for FavreCo

Jay Thomas longtime radio talk show host as well as comic actor dead at 69.
Awe shucks, not Eddie LeBec!
He was an honourary Canadian!
Wow. What a bummer. I liked him in Mr. Holland’s Opus. I recently listened to him interviewed on Gilbert Gottfried’s podcast (I think it was an episode from many months back) and he was hilarious.
I always liked the holiday tradition of Jay and Dave throwing footballs at the meatball on top of the Christmas tree on Late Show with David Letterman.
I first saw him in Mork and Mindy, and apparently so did most other people as it’s listed as his first TV show.
Anybody have bodybuilder Rich Piana? 54 points if you did.
Thanks for the update. I posted about his being in a medically induced coma, but didn’t know anything after that.

Director Tobe Hooper, dead at age 74.
I didn’t know he directed Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself.”
George “Jud” Melvin Heathcote, dies at 90, Unique Pick and first points of the year for Kitten Mitten.

Bea Wain, big band singer who was first to record “Over the Rainbow” dead at 0 points.
Jeannie Rousseau, French spy for the Allies during WWII who was most famous for exposing the German V-2 plans died at 98.
Looks like there was a pick for “Colin Meads” instead of “Sir Colin Meads”. Thanks to Jane for catching this, there are 19 points for DeaderThanDead:

and today, Rollie Massimino dies at 82; led Villanova to 1985 title, had 816 wins.
So who is going to be the third coaching legend to die? Bobby Knight? Denny Crum? John Thompson
The Ballhog mourns.
